Circuit Four

The fourth brain, dealing with the transmission of tribal or ethnic culture across generations, introduces the fourth dimension, time. Since each of these tunnel-realities consists of biochemical imprints or matrices in the nervous system, each of them is specifically triggered by neuro-transmitters and other drugs. To activate the first brain take an opiate. Mother Opium and Sister Morphine bring you down to cellular intelligence, bio-survival passivity, the floating consciousness of the newborn. (This is why
Freudians identify opiate addiction with the desire to return to infancy.)
To activate the second tunnel-reality, take an abundant quantity of alcohol. Vertebrate territorial patterns and mammalian emotional politics immediately appear when the booze flows, as Thomas Nashe intuitively realized when he characterized the various alcohol states by animal labels: "ass drunk," "goat drunk," "swine drunk," "bear drunk," etc.
To activate the third circuit, try coffee or tea, a high- protein diet, speed or cocaine.
The specific neurotransmitter for circuit four has not been synthesized yet, but it is generated by the glands after pubescence and flows volcanically through the bloodstreams of adolescents.
NONE OF THESE TERRESTRIAL DRUGS CHANGE BASIC BIOCHEMICAL
IMPRINTS. The behaviors which they trigger are those which were wired into the nervous system during the first stages of imprint vulnerability. The circuit II drunk exhibits the emotional games or
cons learned from parents in infancy. The circuit III "mind" never gets beyond the permutations and combinations of those tunnel-realities originally imprinted, or abstractions associated with
the imprints through later conditioning. And so forth. But all this Pavlovian-Skinnerian robotism changes drastically and dramatically when we turn to the right lobe, the future circuits and extraterrestrial chemicals.

 

Associated consequences to be taken into account include:

  1. A Neurogentic ethic, defining what is subjectively good-bad and consensually right-wrong.

  2. The Industrial Stage - mediating the reception, integratio and transmission of neural signals concerned with sexual roles, occupation and socialisation in the factory culture.

  3. The Cultural Freedom to select one's lifestyle and socio-sexual role. The Constraint of interfering with the courtship styles, mating rites, impersonation styles, and domestic mores of others.

  4. Revolution-revelation Cultural-sexual Revolution (hive-domestication power)

  5. Social grouping Cultural-ethical roupings (hive, tribe)

  6. Level of Truth Cultural-domestic truth: the neural signals mediated by the Fourth Circuit imprint which define the socio-sexual role. ("My socio-sexual values")

  7. Reality Class The Fourth Reality is the imprinted-conditioned world of domestic responsibilty.

  8. Individual/species evolution An ethic defining good-bad, virtue-sin.
